I hate flatpak and docker, like if you can run something bare metal, do it - don't try to package a whole system and ship shit onto other machines.

When I am installing software, Flatpaks are the absolute last resort. I mean they are nice in the sense that the creator can be sure shit works, but every flatpak has to ship it's own graphics driver for example and so many compatibility layers that the users system just gets bloated with so much shit that is already installed.
And we don't talk about docker here, nobody needs a NAT in a NAT with the same software installed in a container which already runs on the root system - that's what Linux users are for, and what reverse proxies manage.

They have played us for absolute fools
